Everyone looked at the target in unison, and saw that the arrow hit the bull's-eye, and the scroll had been opened because the red rope tied to it was cut by the arrow.
"Gua Lian Mian Mian", Zhou Zixu and Chen Yutang said in unison, and quickly read out the words on the scroll.
When the two of them were guessing whether the remaining sentence would be "Katydid Yanqing", there was another "click" sound, and another scroll was unfolded.
"The melons are endless, the erchang is blazing!" Zhou Zixu couldn't help but nod, "What a sentence, what a good meaning!"
After saying these words, he felt that there were no people who agreed with him. Zhou Zixu quickly turned around, only to see several of his companions staring at the bent bow in Lin Yuanqiu's hand, looking like they had been dumbfounded. Zhou Zixu immediately understood, They must have been stunned by Brother Lin's fast and accurate archery skills.
Not only Chen Yutang and the others, but also everyone present, no one expected that the Number One Scholar Guild had such good archery skills.
What about the good scholars who say they are powerless?
Zhong Jinan, on the other hand, was taking the bow handed back by his brother-in-law dully. The expression on his face was exactly the same as that of Zhong Jinhua next to him, also full of disbelief.
It was the first time that he showed off his skills in front of so many people and achieved good results. Lin Yuanqiu felt a little proud.
However, if you are proud, you must not show it.
Lin Yuanqiu turned around and ordered Zhang Gui and Ping An behind him, "Spread the wedding money!"
Zhang Gui and Pingan were waiting for these words from their masters. After hearing the instructions, they nodded quickly, then untied the cloth bag they were carrying, grabbed the brand-new copper coins in the bag, and threw them towards everyone, shouting , "Happy money! Happy money! My family is having a great wedding today. Thank you all for coming to congratulate me!"
The entrance to the alley was already crowded with people. When they heard that the wedding coins were about to be thrown out and coins were being thrown towards them, everyone quickly jumped up or squatted down to grab the wedding coins.
While grabbing wedding money, everyone also did not forget to congratulate.
"I wish the bride and groom a long life together and a son soon!"
"I wish Duke Zhuangyuan a happy marriage and a happy marriage for a hundred years!"
"I wish the bride and groom may have a son soon!"
…
Lin Yuanqiu, after thanking everyone, stepped into Zhong's house and prepared to pick up the bride.
Zhong Rong and his wife were already sitting in front of the hall.
Looking at the smiles on their faces at this time, it can be seen that they are quite satisfied with this marriage.
Especially Zhong Rong, after learning about his son-in-law's outstanding performance outside the gate, his heart almost overflowed with joy.
Zhong Rong really got a good son-in-law.
Soon, Xiniang slowly came over supporting the bride, who was covered with a red hijab.
Wearing a wedding dress made of bright red silk, a belt with Ruyi embroidered patterns was tied around the waist. The broad style showed off Zhong Yu's soft and graceful waist. At this time, although her face was covered by a hijab, she could still feel her pretty appearance.
However, at this moment, everyone's eyes fell on the bride's shoulders. To be precise, it should be the magpie pattern Xiapei worn by the bride. This is a preparation only for the wives of sixth- and seventh-grade officials, so from today on Well, Yurou is the wife of an official.
Looking at the majestic groom, everyone couldn't help but have an idea in their hearts, that is, Yurou's future wealth would definitely be more than this.
After saying goodbye to her parents, Zhong Yurou was carried by her eldest brother to the big red sedan chair at the door.
Zhong Jinan originally wanted to say, "If your brother-in-law bullies you, just tell your elder brother," but when he thought of his brother-in-law's graceful and coherent bow and arrow action, he felt that he still didn't know who would deal with whom.
But even if he can't fight, as the eldest brother, it is only natural to protect his sister.
Zhong Jinan said, "Yu Rou, if Yuan Qiu bullies you in the future, just come back and tell your parents and elder brother, and then my elder brother will take it out on you."
I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but Zhong Jinan didn’t deliberately suppress his voice when he said this. Therefore, Lin Yuanqiu, who was following him, heard every word.
This was the mother's family's protection of the married daughter, and Lin Yuanqiu thought it was normal.
But, Yurou needs help from her parents to vent her anger?
Lin Yuanqiu still remembered the two kidnappers who were beaten to pieces.
…
There are sounds of gongs and drums and bursts of suona.
When the sedan arrived at Nanluogu Lane, someone shouted, "Come, come, the bride's sedan is here!"
Then there was a burst of crackling firecrackers.
Xi Niang stepped forward and led the newlyweds to the main hall.
In the main hall, guests and friends have been waiting for a long time, and Qin Yu is also there. Today is a happy day for his proud disciple, so as a teacher, he naturally wants to come over.
Colleagues from the Hanlin Academy also came over. Although they knew that Lin Xiuzhan lived in a large mansion in Sijin, the impact of the imagination in his mind and the reality were definitely different. When they saw how big the single front yard was, everyone couldn't hide the envy on their faces.
The bride and groom quickly walked into the hall, and then worshiped heaven and earth.
On the side, the groomsmen shouted and sang the salute, while Lin Sanzhu and Feng sat upright. When they saw their son and daughter-in-law saluting them, the couple's eyes were already wet, and their dog (Yuan Qiu) finally Got a family.
After the ceremony was completed and sent into the bridal chamber, before Lin Yuanqiu and Zhong Yurou could breathe a sigh of relief, a group of little carrot heads came to the new house to see their little aunt.
Perhaps because of their parents' instructions, Mo Hao and Mo Sheng, who were usually very out-of-the-box, were quite well-behaved at the moment, but their anxious temperament had not changed at all. No, seeing the little uncle holding the weighing pole but not taking action yet, the two little guys wanted to help pick out the hijab.
Wanxue on the side was also a little anxious, "Uncle, Xueer wants to see the beautiful little aunt!"
When Wanyu heard this, she nodded hurriedly "Yeah, yeah," indicating that she also wanted to watch.
The reason why Lin Yuanqiu didn't pick up the hijab right away was because he found that the wedding dress in his hand actually had double hooks. If he wasn't careful, Yu Rou's face would have been scratched. .
I don’t know what Xiniang was thinking.
What Lin Yuanqiu didn't know was that using a double-hook scale to choose a hijab had a very good meaning.
The first is the small scale beam. The sixteen stars on it carry the celestial phenomena of the Big Dipper, the South Dipper, and the three stars of fortune, wealth, and longevity. And these two hooks naturally mean that they come in pairs, and good things come in pairs.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuanqiu held the weighing hook in the palm of his hand, and finally carefully used the weighing rod to gently lift the red hijab.
At this moment, the bride's fair and rosy face was revealed.
"Wow, my little aunt is so pretty!" Lin Wanying was the first to speak.
Lin Wanqing nodded, expressing her agreement with her second sister's statement.
Wanxue, on the other hand, ran up to her little aunt, then raised her little head and looked at her, "Auntie, Xue'er also wants to be this good-looking!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liu were also there. When they saw the pink face and peach cheeks of their nephew-in-law, they couldn't help but admire in their hearts what kind of pot goes with what kind of lid. Yuan Qiu was handsome and elegant, and now his nephew-in-law is also a handsome man. If you look good, the children you will give birth to will be extremely good-looking.
Lin Yuanqiu didn't stay in the new house for long. There were still guests to entertain in the front yard, so he left after saying something to Zhong Yurou.
After exiting the second door, Lin Yuanfeng and Lin Yuansong were already waiting for him. Today, their task is to protect the fifth brother from drinking.
Among the five brothers, Lin Yuanqiu is the worst drinker. Therefore, in order to prevent others from getting drunk, Lin Yuanfeng and Lin Yuansong took the initiative to ask Ying to drink for their fifth brother.
Lin Yuanqiu naturally accepted the kindness of his eldest and second brothers. Although his wine was not bad, it would be unjustifiable if he got drunk on his wedding night.
When the three of them arrived in the front yard, they saw that, as they expected, the guests, especially the dozen or so of Lin Yuanqiu's contemporaries, were gearing up to give the groom a drunken night.
It would be impossible for the literati to get together and punch each other.
In the end, Mr. Qin and Fang Zhangyuan set the rules for today's drinking ceremony. That is, everyone takes turns saying the first couplet, and then the groom answers the second couplet sentence by sentence. It is required that the answers must be neat. In order to increase the difficulty, it is also stipulated that the groom must answer the second couplet within ten breaths.
If you can't answer, or it's timed out, then just drink.
One breath is equal to three seconds, and ten breaths is thirty seconds, so there is only half a minute. When he saw the five-inch bowls filled with wine in front of his classmates, Lin Yuanqiu almost rolled his eyes at them.
These people are so cruel, aren't they obviously trying to get him drunk into a pulp?
However, Lin Yuanqiu also knew that he was the one with the least say today. Didn't he see that even his teacher was enjoying it?
So he might as well actively accept the challenge, not to mention it's not certain who got who drunk. Although he has never tried to answer poems quickly, he has never been afraid of writing poems and poems.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuanqiu waved his hand, "Let's start!"
Hearing this refreshing and relaxed tone, Gu Ping felt a little scared, "Are we going to get drunk instead?"
Although Gu Ping filled the wine bowl in front of him, he only went there with the intention of giving it to the groom. As for himself, he didn't have much of a drinking capacity.
"No, Mr. Lin is definitely bluffing." Zhang Qingyuan was very sure, "It's like beating a drum before a battle. This is to build momentum for yourself."
Han Shicheng nodded, "Master Zhang is absolutely right. There are nearly twenty of us. We will never lose today."
When they said this, they didn't specifically suppress their voices, so Lin Yuanfeng and Lin Yuansong, who were not far away, heard clearly.
The two of them looked at each other and thought about whether to call the third and fourth brothers over. Looking at the situation, they might not have enough people to serve as wine substitutes.
Ding Dejin was the first to stand up, mainly because he was really dissatisfied with Lin Yuanqiu's calmness.
After all, he was ranked second in the top 10, so he stood up and said, "Philippines has no competition."
Lin Yuanqiu was not ambiguous, his head was spinning rapidly. "No contention" means freedom and no distracting thoughts. So his second line is, "Because there is no dispute in the Philippine grass, the stream water is pure!"
"Good! Wu Zheng's comparison with purity is extremely appropriate." Fang Zhangyuan couldn't help but praise.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Ding Dejin and saw that he had already picked up the wine bowl and drank heavily.
Seeing this, Gu Ping thought about pouring out some of the wine in the bowl.
Lin Yuanfeng and Lin Yuansong were ready to take another look at the situation. Maybe it would be okay if the third and fourth brothers did not need to join.
The second person to get up was Yang Yan.
In recent times, Lin Xiu has been summoned by the Holy Spirit to write a history of scriptures, which made Yang Yan even more dissatisfied. Therefore, at this moment, he was going to let Lin Xiuzuan take a closer look at what it meant to be truly full of nylon and outstanding literary talent.
However, Yang Yan also knew that Lin Xiuzan did not come to the top of the list for nothing, so ordinary poems may not be difficult for others. After thinking for a while, he read out the first couplet, "The old vines and dead trees are like drunken crows."
Is there a dead tree or a drunken crow?
When everyone heard this, they immediately knew that Mr. Yang had changed a famous poem. The original sentence was exactly "the dead vines and the old trees and the crows" in Ma Zhiyuan's "Tianjingsha·Autumn Thoughts".
The whole poem is: Withered vines, old trees and dim crows, small bridges and flowing water, people's homes, west wind and thin horses on the ancient road, the setting sun, heartbroken people at the end of the world.
Therefore, the second couplet must also revolve around the meaning of the poem, which is quite difficult!
It seems that Mr. Lin is sure to drink this bowl of wine. Everyone saw that the bowl in front of Mr. Yang was much larger than theirs. Maybe someone specially brought the soup bowl.
Also, although you can have someone drink for you, as I said before, you must drink the first three bowls yourself.
Yang Yan was stroking his beard very proudly, and he couldn't help but admire his own intelligence. He looked at Lin Yuanqiu, the meaning in his eyes was obvious, "Lin Xiuzan, it's your turn."
Not only Yang Yan, but also everyone else was watching. As for Gu Ping and the others, they were secretly counting the time in their hearts: one breath, two breaths, and three breaths.
Just when Gu Ping counted to the sixth breath, he heard Lin Xiuzhuan's reply in the hall, "The crows are drunk on the dead trees, and the moon and horses are hidden in the wind on the plank road."
Is this the answer?
Gu Ping was stunned. He had only counted six breaths, okay? Master Lin, this must be too amazing.
